One of the hardest lessons adulthood teaches is that consistency is a gift, not a guarantee.
People change.
Circumstances change.
Priorities change.
Appreciate consistency when you find it, but don’t build your peace around expecting it.
What’s something you stopped expecting from people as you got older?
One thing I’ve noticed:
The people who communicate clearly often get mistaken for being the smartest in the room.
In reality, clarity is a skill, not proof of intelligence.
Most opportunities go to people who can explain ideas simply.
